FURMAN FINISHED SECOND AT WOFFORD INVITATIONAL

LOSES PLAYOFF TO VIRGINIA TECH

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina -- 54 holes were not enough to determine a winner at the Wofford Invitational on Saturday. The Furman Paladins and Virginia Tech Hokies were tied at 866 at the end of regulation when two Tech players scored birdies on the first sudden death playoff hole to give the Hokies the victory.

The Paladins fired a final round 287 and were led on Saturday by junior Kirk Satterfield, who carded a 70 to finish fifth at 214. Sophomore Matt Davidson fired a final round 71 to place seventh at 216, while Noble Judy shot 74 and took 14th with a 218 total. Sophomore Buddy Davis fired a 72 to finish 44th, while David Sligh was the non-counter on the day with a 76. Senior Brian Scurlock was also competing as an individual, and recorded a 70 to place 11th with a 217 tally.

Furman is in action next weekend at the Southern Conference Championships in Chatttanooga, Tenn.
